Saw this online with very limited information (a print was part of an estate sale with no background) and wanted to grab a print. Any ideas on the title / artist?
I inherited this painting and have no idea what it is. I tried google lens but came up short.
It’s an oil painting on canvas, I think it was purchased in the early 2000s from Italy, but am not sure.
I inherited an oil painting and can’t make out who this is. I tried google lens and researching the name but the beginning characters are hard to make out.
Any help would be appreciated. This is oil on canvas.
I inherited an oil on canvas painting and I can’t make out who this is. I’ve google image searched and come up short. The last name of the artist appears to be Collaude. I do see a sticker on the back of the frame that says Cherie’s Gallery Art and Collectibles. Hanover Park Illinois 830-1110. I know this painting was purchased before 1996, because we started adding area codes to phone numbers in the Hanover Park area, and this was before that. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I found this while cleaning out an estate and I would love to get some more information on its age. I know it may be hard, if not impossible to pin down an artist but any information would be appreciated
This is the only picture I have, and maybe any of you will recognize the painting itself? Or just guess who may be the characters on it?
Google Reverse Image Search gives nothing unfortunately.
I have an oil on canvas painting I inherited and I think it’s from Italy or France. My dad traveled to Italy quite a bit. The artist name is difficult to make out. It almost looks like they signed it as a street name instead of their own name. What it looks like to me is Haggi Street. But it could also just be the last name and the year 81, but I think the year idea is a bit of a stretch. I do think the painting is an 80s painting, reproducing famous artists, but for all I know this could be something much different.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is a painting that I believe was purchased in the mid to late 80s from the Chicago suburbs. This is oil on canvas. I can’t make out the artists name and tried image searching to no avail. I think the first initial of the first name is S. The last name seems to be Saskatip. But I can’t make the signature out to be honest.
I inherited a few paintings, some I think are from Italy while others may have been purchased in stores/ galleries in the Chicagoland area. Can you please help me identify this? I’m going to guess this was purchased in the mid to late 80’s. The artist signature seems to read AACHENBERG in all capitals.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

When I was in elementary school a fellow student’s father, who owned an art gallery, brought in an artist (from Germany I think) to show the class. He drew sketches for some of the students and I have held on to this ever since. Anybody know who this might be?
I have had this for about 30 years. There’s nothing on the back of it, no writing or anything.
Can anyone tell me anything about it?
Bottom right says “Peterson”. I can’t find online anywhere, any ideas?
